This week will see us continuing with Math strategies to deal with word problems. Also, we are starting simple division equations. In Language Arts we will be soon beginning our first novel study, but before this can take place students are going to learn about what will be involved such as literature circles, discussions about their reading, etc....In Science we will continue with Sound and Light....in Social Studies we are learning about peoples in Canada. In P.E. we will not have the gym for the next two weeks because it is getting painted, so we will be having P.E. in the classroom and if it is nice we will go outside. Sagebrush for Young People's Concert (YPC) forms were handed out...please get these signed and handed back in (dates have changed). We are going skating on January 31th, I have sent out the permission notices but I have not received all forms back...please get these in...if your child does not have a form signed they will not be allowed to leave the school ground for skating (forms were due back January 11th). Please note that I did not include snowpants/helmets are mandatory in the notice so if your child can bring snowpants for skating that would be great...again if any parents would like to help out, please check the box on the permission slip. Gymnastic & Skiing permission forms must be filled out and handed back with payment....I think I covered everything...if you have any questions or concerns please contact me at the school.
